Fine Line to Anxiety

33"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:33-34

Worrying about where are next meal is coming from, what we're going to wear, or any provision; wont help us. We do need to steward these things well when it's presented to us and be responsible but going beyond this will cause anxiety which leads to distrust. Jesus is warning us of this fine line and we need to be on guard.

I cross this line very frequently. The bottom line to it is because I don't trust Him enough. Right now, my tithing has been poor at best. Because my finances are poor I'm making excuses in why I can't offer God my heart through my financial firstfruits. This is the one area where God says to test Him... why can't I even do this little bit to watch heaven pour out blessings? Because u don't trust Him! This sucks because I want to but my anxiety leafs me to do things I shouldn't. What can I do to change this? I need to go back to basics and start tithing faithfully again, because what I'm doing us robbing God.

Oh heavenly Father, help me bust our of this selfish, anxiety-stricken life. I don't want to be like this but I've sunken to new lows. Lord, I pray for a simpler and more God-fearing life. Help me be that example first to my family, my neighbors and to all creation. Love You, Jesus! Amen!
